Ok, you've admitted being wrong on one question. Want to answer the other one now?
Why are you so afraid that you need to avoid questions over and over again?

Actually...CNN said he was an Obama supporter. Not relevant, but it is accurate if the source is to be believed.
BTW...there's no such thing as ghosts...

i am pretty sure he posted bail. good thing the senate does not have accept who ever he appoints if they think that person is courpt.
Huh?
I want the names of GW Bush's "criminal connections". People that were directly tied to GW Bush, his administration or his campaigns, during or immediately preceding his election & during the last 8 years, Amuse me.
Yea, Scooter was tried, for lying to a prosecutor....hardly under oath.

Odd that you place those limitations on who you consider a criminal connection but don't have the same limitations for Obama. Why would that be?
Scooter is a felon. Convicted on four counts. Odd too that you so easily dismiss felony convictions when it's somebody connected to your guy.
Easy there. Your hypocrisy is showing pretty clearly. Might want to reign it in a bit.
Since Obama & the Governor campaigned for each other, and are from the same area, in the same party & in the same city, the connections are clear.
Obama's history of friends is rather troublesome.

I haven't seen anything yet about Blago campaigning for Obama. Regardless it's a pretty tenuous connection. Are all the Republicans that campaigned for Saxby intimately connected to him now?
Don King campaign for Bush, are they close buddies? Maybe they are.
Obama's history of friends looks like a day care center compared to Bush's corrupt and criminal buddies. Weird that you completely overlook one while being ridiculously critical of the other. Why the hypocrisy?
If they're from GA, there's a good possibility.
No hypocrisy. I have no idea who you are talking about.

Blago will be the fourth Illinois governor to go to prison in the last 35 years.

"We?"
Don't blow off the connection. 0bama supports Blago, Blago returns the favor. A mutual admiration society. You are known by the company you keep.
I heard there are 300 hours of recorded conversations.
Only a small amount has been released.Almost forgot. I understand the Obama/Rezko land deal will soon have another name: First Lady Patti Blagojevich was a Rezko business partner for about a decade, receiving more than $38,000 in real estate commissions from him in 2004.

Rep. Jesse L. Jackson Jr. vehemently denied Wednesday trying to bribe Illinois Gov. Rod R. Blagojevich to name him to President-elect Barack Obama's old Senate seat, as Mr. Obama and all 50 members of the Senate Democratic caucus called on the embattled governor to resign.
Mr. Jackson's attorney acknowledged that his client was the "Senate Candidate 5" mentioned 16 times in a 76-page affidavit laying out the FBI's corruption case against Mr. Blagojevich, but he said Mr. Jackson was not aware of anyone cutting deals on his behalf.
The affidavit quotes Mr. Blagojevich telling one of his advisers that he had bumped up Candidate 5 in his mind because the person, through an associate, has said the candidate would be willing to raise more money than other competitors for a future Blagojevich campaign.

People in politics in the same party often support each other. What I'm asking is how it is significant to this subject Cerise. All evidence points to the fact that Obama was in no way involved. You trying to associate Obama at all with this event is a completely transparent illogical desperate attempt to smear someone that wasn't involved.
It would be like trying to associate Bush with the crimes of Don King because King campaign for him.
Are you trying to say that the way to know Bush is by examining Don King because that is the company that he keeps?
Or should we be judging Bush as company of Ken Lay?
Or as company of the Saudis?

It is so sad that all i see on the news is Blagojevich's stupid story, and all the "new" news.
